Galesburg-Augusta extended their winning streak to five on Saturday, bumping their season record up to 10-5 in the process. Everything went their way against the Bangor Vikings as they made off with a 15-1 win. The Rams might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matchups by eight runs or more this season.

Alex Krugh made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over 2.2 innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit (and only one walk). He has been consistent: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

In other batting news, Ethan Gibson was incredible, getting on base in all five of his plate appearances with three runs, three RBI, and one stolen base. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high. Ashton Matrau was another key player, going 2-for-5 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.

As for Bangor, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost nine of their last 12 contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-11 record this season. They just can't catch a break and have now endured five defeats in a row.

On Bangor's side, Wyatt Schnieder was cooking despite his team's loss, going 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and one run. The Vikings are 6-1 when Schnieder posts two or more stolen bases, but 4-10 otherwise.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Galesburg-Augusta will square off against Saugatuck at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Bangor, they will take on Lawrence at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Tigers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 15.6 runs per game on average), something the Vikings will no doubt try to take advantage of.
